I've read that starting with kids movies makes things a bit earlier. And that ideally this is a supplement to more focused learning of words which help enstill certain vocabulary more than passive learning.

 

I'm early in my study and kids movie watching but I think that's accurate so far.

 

Curious if you guys have benefited from movies or not. Does it help with getting to a point of quick comprehension? That's my goal as someone who wants to eventually hold basic to intermediate conversations in a couple years.

i started with thai music with english phonic writing subtitles translating the thai language. that and a huge group of thai friends. sat and listened for hours upon hours until things started to make sense.
